DIY Beauty Products & Remedies to Try at Home

The current climate has inspired many DIY projects from baking homemade bread, banana or otherwise, to taking beauty treatments into our own hands, whether it’s out of boredom or necessity. Beauty treatments especially can be a great way to take a moment to slow down and focus on something other than the news or social media. If you have to do them anyway, why not take a little extra time to really enjoy the experienced?

DIY Beauty Products and Remedies

If you’re removing your makeup from sitting in Zoom meetings all day, you can turn it into a mini facial. If you’ve just successfully removed your gel mani, follow up with a fresh coat of polish and a bit of TLC for your hands. Luckily, we’ve rounded up a few easy ways you can treat yourself with little to no extra cost, from DIY remedies you can find in your pantry courtesy of Priyanka Chopra to Naked Beauty’s hydrating face mask you can make with just a few ingredients and plenty more. Keep reading to see our picks.

An Easy At-Home Facial Courtesy of LaBeautyologist

If you’re missing your favourite pampering facial and that post-facial glow, esthetician Nayamka Roberts-Smith has you covered. Nayamka who also goes by Nay or LaBeautyologist as she’s known to her twitter followers breaks down an easy at-home facial you can do with products you already own. She begins with a gentle oil cleanse and facial massage followed by a gel cleanse, a calming toner, a hydrating mask, and a bit of steam. She wraps up this deeply hydrating facial with a lightweight moisturiser and a balm. For the full details, product breakdown, and Nay’s tips, check out the video.

DIY Salt and Sugar Body Scrubs

Your face isn’t the only thing that could benefit from a bit of extra pampering and self-care, a full body scrub is an easy way to get the spa experience at home while softening and moisturising skin. YouTuber Ariane, abetweene on her social media, shares easy salt and sugar scrubs that rival store-bought exfoliants. Her salt scrub uses relaxing Epsom salts, almond and rosehip oils, and dried rose petals and her sugar scrub exfoliates with brown sugar. Check out the video to see her process.
